This book is a  collection of wonderful images. 
Just over 50 black & white photographs, the majority of which are reproduced at 26cmx21cm.
  Morell has travelled the world to produce these simple but stunning shots.  He blacks out all the windows of a room, leaving just a pinhole opening in one window.  The outside world is projected upside down within the room.  In this way you are put inside a camera obscura.  He then photographs the interior with a large format camera.  What you see are extraordinary juxtapositions:  the Empire State building stretching across a bedspread; the Eiffel Tower plunging down the wall of a Parisian hotel room; a Tuscan landscape providing an upside-down wallpaper above the beds in a grand Florentine bedroom.

In Afterword Morell writes, ” Looking back at this camera obscura project, I’m struck by the continuing pleasure, energy, and surprise that the images still provide me.  I am convinced that this is due in large part to the way these photographs are tied up with the excitement I felt during my own beginnings in photography – a time for me when the world I photographed seemed charged with new possibilities, strangeness, and hope.”

In the introduction to Morell’s photographs, Luc Sant writes, ” Morell’s photographs capture the camera obscura in its most primal form…..Other photographers working today have employed the device as an instrument, but their pictures show only the results, tightly framed and right side up; as far as I am aware, Morell is unique in rendering the process in its complete setting, thus bringing out the full strangeness of the experience.  The outside comes inside, unaltered and unabridged but wrenched out of contextby the apparently simple matter of being turned upside down.”

Available from Amazon at around £30, this is a collection of photographs that you will return to again and again.
